In studying Indian history, people often fail to find out the real soul of India, and as a result, their labour bears very little fruit. In the following pages, the author, whose love for his motherland was very deep and whose life stood like a mighty colossus pointing with one hand to the past and with another to the future of India, gives in a nutshell the undercurrent of Indian history, politics, and sociology.
Learn to feel yourself in other bodies, to know that we are all one. Throw all other nonsense to the winds. Spit out your actions, good or bad, and never think of them again. What is done is done. Throw off superstition. Have no weakness even in the face of death. Do not repent, do not brood over past deeds. Be aazaad (free).
-Swami Vivekananda
